Coconut Mango Shrimp Ceviche
Coconut Mango Shrimp Ceviche
There are 3 ways you can make this shrimp ceviche. You can make it exactly how it is in the recipe; omitting the mango and having it be just shrimp; or omitting the shrimp, adding 2 more mangoes and making the ceviche vegan. All are good, but I prefer everything in my ceviche. Serve the ceviche with tortilla chips.It is best to use shrimp sized 26/30 count or smaller. Shrimp that are larger may need to be cut in half. While the shrimp in this recipe are briefly cooked for 2 minutes, you can cut them into smaller pieces and marinate them raw in just the lime juice for a couple of hours before combining the rest of the ingredients.
